chinest scalded on the head and face. Every man
on board was injured to some extent, aud from the

In conversation to-day with prominent citizen
of the town, IN relation to railroad affairs he re-
marked that if j. Waldo, the prominent railroad
man of the state would only take hold of the little
one-horse lines branching out in different direc-
tions throughout the west, that the people would
cheerfnlly come to the front, with tho assurance
that the roads would be built, and that he was op-
posed to the building of roads upon the principle
of public charity, but believed railroads, like every
public enterprise, should be fostered and protected
by the state nut not from the great mass of citi-
zens through the country in which they run.
